Portfolio budgeting

Keep budget, time, expenses, CAPEX/OPEX, and delay cost close to the work.

ScrumDo Business connects portfolio budgets, Lean Budgeting Money Band rolling capacity, native expense reporting with receipt attachments, CAPEX/OPEX classification, Cost of Delay, and release decisions so leaders can discuss money without leaving the operating record.

Portfolio budget tracking connected to releases and work items
How it works

ScrumDo is a work management system with the decision context kept on the work.

Teams still plan and deliver with familiar boards, cards, releases, blockers, and reviews. ScrumDo keeps the decision context on the work: stories, work type, flow policy, budget, Cost of Delay, release commitments, and decision records.

Teams still plan and deliver with familiar boards, cards, releases, blockers, and reviews. The difference is that ScrumDo lets the organization attach the context that usually gets scattered across decks and spreadsheets: customer or worker stories, portfolio work type, flow policy, budget assumptions, Cost of Delay, release commitments, and decision records. Leaders can then inspect the work from strategy, economics, evidence, and delivery angles without treating any one metric as automatic truth.

Financial context

Budget should not live in a detached report.

Lean Portfolio Management and ESP both push leaders toward better investment and sequencing decisions. ScrumDo keeps that conversation tied to the cards, releases, risks, and outcomes that create the spend.

Money Band rolling capacity

Track real-time capacity (Total Capital − Committed − Delay Exposure) calculated dynamically from active iteration hours and rate cards.

Native expense ledger

Upload PDF and JPEG receipts directly against Portfolio Epics and Releases to capture operational spend alongside labor rollups.

CAPEX/OPEX classification

Separate capital, operating, and unclassified work so finance conversations stay clean. Labor is never auto-marked CAPEX.

Delay cost

Prioritization scores and money are not the same thing.

Cost of Delay and WSJF help leaders discuss what waiting costs. ScrumDo keeps that decision support close to budget context without mixing currency totals and value points.

Cost of Delay

Compare the cost of waiting across releases and strategic options using Reinertsen economic curves.

WSJF

Use economic priority to support sequencing, weighting value against duration to optimize flow.

Outcome review

Bring delivered work, timing, actual spend, and results back into the next planning conversation.

Practice those communities already use

Grounded in delivery practice those communities already use.
